1927 Bulova Lone Eagle - this beauty has the markings (triangle and arrow) and case serial number that puts in nicely in the range of what we generally consider the first 5,000 that Bulova marketed after Col. Lindbergh's flight. Watch is in nice original condition with a tiny bit of enamel loss at 10/11 corner.

That's a beauty Mr. Baker. Is it a runner? Looks like it's wound down or the mainspring is broken.

Full service COA by Professor Cousineau last month Alan. Runs like the day he rolled off the line. (translation = wound down)

Nice! And that dial is immaculate!
Nice snag, Geoff
1927 LE (first 5K)
I'd agree with you Baker... nice LE 5K
I'm NOT looking at the hands :-)
Assuming the dial is untounched. Is that original lume on the numbers. Very nice if it is.
